Heirloom Restaurant at Cape Grace offers a refined expression of South African culinary heritage in the heart of the V&A Waterfront. Inspired by local flavours, seasonal produce and the stories that shape Cape Town and its people, each dish reflects a thoughtful balance between tradition and contemporary technique.


Mornings begin with an elegant breakfast experience, featuring a generous buffet and refined à la carte selection. On weekends, guests are invited to linger longer with breakfast served until 12pm — an indulgent start to slow Cape Town mornings overlooking the marina. By day, Heirloom is a relaxed yet polished destination for lunch in Cape Town, before transitioning into an intimate setting for dinner, where comforting, nostalgic flavours are reimagined with modern finesse.


Defined by attentive service and understated elegance, Heirloom is a signature Cape Grace dining experience, designed to be savoured and returned to.

    My dinner at Cape Grace was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Clayton at the security boom welcomed us with such genuine warmth and kindness that we immediately felt looked after. It's often the first impression that sets the tone for an evening, and he did exactly that. Our waitress, Leah, was an absolute star—11/10! Her service was attentive, friendly, and effortless, making us feel truly special throughout the evening. She struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, and her attention to detail made the experience unforgettable. The setting itself is simply breathtaking. The beautiful flowers throughout the restaurant made it feel as though we were dining in an indoor garden, creating such a peaceful and elegant atmosphere. Cape Grace offers so much more than just a meal—it delivers a truly memorable experience. Every detail, from the incredible hospitality to the stunning surroundings, came together to make a special evening even more special. I can't wait to return.

    We had a wonderful time and experience. Two staff members in particular stood out - Nicky at the Burlesque Bar and Sanele at Heirloom. Our waitress was attentive, friendly and knew her products. The barman who served some of our drinks was courteous and very professional. The food was outstanding and as a family, our experience of celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary at the Cape Grace Hotel, will always be a great one. Fond wishes Allan & Abralyn Dillon

    We recently tried the Winter Special at The Heirloom (at the Mount Grace Hotel), and it was an absolutely flawless dining experience from start to finish. At R550 per person for a three-course menu, the value is exceptional for food of this caliber. Every dish was absolutely delicious: The Starter: I had the cauliflower soup, which was incredibly tasty, packed with flavor, and beautifully executed. The Main: The springbok was cooked to absolute perfection. It was tender, rich, and portioned just right to satisfy without feeling overly heavy. The Dessert: A brilliant take on a classic milk tart, but unlike any version I’ve ever seen before. It was remarkably light, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet—just a beautiful end to the meal. Beyond the stellar food, the ambience was wonderful and the service was superb. The manager taking the time to come around and chat, adding a lovely, personal touch to a truly memorable evening. Highly recommended!
